Theta Capital通過其最新基金會收盤籌集了1.75億美元，以支持加密特權風險投資公司

Theta Capital Management已獲得超過1.75億美元的資金，旨在幫助機構投資者接觸早期區塊鏈初創公司

In a move to support emerging blockchain technology, Dutch investment firm Theta Capital has completed a $175 million fundraising round for its latest fund-of-funds, aiming to connect institutional investors with early-stage crypto startups.

為了支持新興的區塊鏈技術，荷蘭投資公司Theta Capital已為其最新基金的資金完成了1.75億美元的籌款回合，旨在將機構投資者與早期的加密貨幣初創公司聯繫起來。

Through its new fund, dubbed Theta Blockchain Ventures IV, the firm will be investing in venture capital firms that are specialized in crypto, according to a report by Bloomberg, citing managing partner and chief investment officer Ruud Smets.

根據彭博社的一份報告，該公司通過其新基金（被稱為Theta區塊鏈風險投資IV）投資於專門從事加密貨幣的風險投資公司。

Founded in 2001, the Netherlands-based firm began focusing on cryptocurrencies in 2018 and now manages around $1.2 billion in assets.

該公司成立於2001年，在2018年開始專注於加密貨幣，現在管理約12億美元的資產。

Previously, Theta Capital has backed firms like Coinfund, Polychain Capital, and Castle Island Ventures. However, details on how Theta plans to allocate the newly raised capital are yet to be disclosed.

此前，Theta Capital曾支持Coinfund，Polychain Capital和Castle Island Ventures等公司。但是，有關Theta計劃如何分配新籌集的資本的詳細信息尚未披露。

The firm’s latest fund comes amid signs of recovery in crypto venture capital activity. According to a recent report by PitchBook, VC deal value in Q1 2024 rose to $6 billion, more than double the $2.6 billion seen a year ago. However, the number of deals fell to 405 from 670 over the same period.

該公司的最新基金出現在加密風險投資活動中恢復的跡象。根據PitchBook最近的一份報告，VC交易價值2024年的交易價值增至60億美元，是一年前26億美元的兩倍以上。但是，從同一時期的670人降至405。

PitchBook’s senior crypto analyst Robert Le said the $1.4 billion Bybit theft, which he described as the first and only “10-digit hack in history,” served as a stark reminder of the operational risks still present in the industry.

PitchBook的高級加密分析師羅伯特·勒（Robert Le）表示，他將14億美元的bybit盜竊案描述為第一個也是唯一的“歷史上的10位黑客黑客攻擊”，這使人們對行業中仍然存在的運營風險提醒。

He suggested the incident could drive greater institutional demand for real-time proof-of-reserve tools, improved custody systems, and middleware that simplifies key management. Startups working on these areas might also find a more favorable funding environment, even amid a broader reset in valuations, Le added.

他建議這一事件可以推動對實時保留工具，改進的監護系統以及簡化關鍵管理的中間件的更大機構需求。 Le補充說，從事這些領域的初創公司也可能會發現更有利的資金環境，甚至在估值中更廣泛的重置中。

Despite Bitcoin hitting a record high of $100,000 in Q4 2024, venture capital activity in crypto startups remained flat, with VC deal size down nearly 90% since 2018.

儘管比特幣在第4季度的2024年第四季度達到了創紀錄的100,000美元，但Crypto初創公司的風險投資活動仍然持平，自2018年以來，VC交易規模下降了近90％。
